If I told you that a former Trump adviser filed a lawsuit claiming that white people were being discriminated against, how long would it take you to come up with Stephen Miller, and why did it take less than two seconds?

Because, of course he did. See, Stephen Miller may no longer be in the White House but he hasnโt stopped being a sensitive white man.
Trumpโs ex-senior adviser Stephen Millerโs Americaโs First Legal filed a lawsuit Monday in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, claiming that the Bidenย administrationโs distribution of stimulus funds discriminates against white people, Bloomberg reports.
The Biden administration was trying to right the wrongs against Black farmers and people of color who have lost โ90 percent of their land over the past century because of systemic discrimination and a cycle of debt,โ the Washington Post reports.
From the Post:
Black farmers in America have lost more than 12 million acres of farmland over the past century, mostly since the 1950s, a result of what agricultural experts and advocates for Black farmers say is a combination of systemic racism, biased government policy, and social and business practices that have denied African Americans equitable access to markets.
Discrimination started a century ago with a series of federal Homestead Acts that offered mainly White settlers deeply subsidized land. Since then, local U.S. Department of Agriculture offices charged with distributing loans have frequently been found to deny Black farmers access to credit and to ignore or delay loan applications. Many Black farmers donโt have clear title to their land, which makes them ineligible for certain USDA loans to purchase livestock or cover the cost of planting, and they have seldom benefited from subsidy payments or trade mitigation compensation โ almost all of President Donald Trumpโs $28 billion bailout for those affected by the China trade war went to White farmers.
But Miller doesnโt care about any of this because history doesnโt fit his racist narrative. All that Miller can see is that white people are missing out on some money and thatโs bullshit!
The suit alleges that the Biden administration excludes white people out of the definition of โsocially disadvantaged.โ
โThe Department of Agriculture interprets this phrase to include African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaskan natives, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders,โ the complaint says. โBut white farmers and ranchers are not included within the definition of โsocially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers,โ making them ineligible for aid under these federal programs.โ
White tears falling like the rainnnnn...or whatever the Force MDโs are singing.
โThe suit is the first by America First Legal and notable because Trump battled claims he is racist, as did Miller, who crafted many of the administrationโs most anti-immigrant policies. It may also inflame the culture wars by equating claims of racism against White people with the nationโs long history of bias against racial minorities,โ Bloomberg reports.
And this is the part where all of the shit gets even weirder. Miller who is the Strom Thurmond of Steve Kings, actually included MLKโyes, the actual Martin Luther King Jr.โin his lawsuit for white rights.
โโโEqual rights under lawโ is โthe cornerstoneโ of the Constitution, according to the complaint. These are the principles etched into our founding documents, fought for on our nationโs battlefields, written into the Gettysburg Address, and delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial by Martin Luther King,โ Bloomberg reports.
I canโt.
And if you say that you had Stephen Miller using MLK in a fight for white rights on your 2021 Bingo card, please message me as I need some three-digit numbers.
